本场比赛，凭借着寿叶的32+9+6+2+2和欧文的23+3+5+2，骑士主场击败篮网，拒绝连败。

Two days later, the Cavaliers continued to play at home, James missed the fifth consecutive game.

In this game, Shou Ye continued to play bravely, scored a game-high 30 points, led the team to defeat the Grizzlies, ushered in two consecutive victories.

After two consecutive victories, the Cavaliers' record rose to 14 wins and 12 losses, and their ranking rose to 7th in the Eastern Conference.

In the 5 games that James was absent, the Cavaliers achieved a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, which is still satisfactory.Moreover, Shou Ye's outstanding performance in these 5 games made Cavaliers fans believe that the team must have a lot to do this season.

The Cavaliers ushered in good news again, James will usher in a comeback in the next game.

On December 12th, Beijing time, the Cavaliers played against the Timberwolves at home.

The Timberwolves are not the top team in the league, but this game has attracted a lot of attention.The reason is Shou Ye's relationship.

This offseason, Shou Ye was traded to the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers' two top picks went to the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves currently rank last in the Western Conference with a record of 5 wins and 21 losses.

Love is still the same Love, averaging 20+10 per game, Rubio is still the same Rubio, not to mention that his shooting has not improved, his crispy attributes have exploded, and he has only played 5 games so far this season.

The general manager of the Timberwolves vowed to serve as the coach of the team, but it seems that the effect is not satisfactory so far.One of the two top picks traded with Shou Ye is still developing insignificantly, while the other is still a waste.

However, from the perspective of rebuilding the team, the future of the Timberwolves is bright. With potential stocks and a lot of draft picks in hand, there is a lot of room for future maneuverability.

Quicken Loans Center arena that night.

Shou Ye and Le Fu still maintain a good relationship.Le Fu is not only handsome, but also has a good personality.Shou Ye didn't hate him for leaving him. On the contrary, he thought it was good.The two still have problems with the ball on the court. Shou Ye can't fully be himself in him, and the statistics can't allow him to get the maximum salary.This season is his contract year, and he needs good data to get the maximum salary.

Shou Ye has a good relationship with his old Timberwolves teammates, but Wiggins doesn't have any affection for the Cavaliers players.He thought he would form an unprecedented 4th pick with Irving, James, and Bennett.But who would have thought that he would be traded to the rebuilding team of the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves can indeed get a lot of playing time and a lot of ball rights, but after being selected by the Cavaliers, they are traded without playing a game. For the No. [-] pick, this is too embarrassing.And it's not one for one, it's N for one, so he also hates Shou Ye, what's so great about this Chinese, the Cavaliers actually have to spend such a big bargaining chip to get him.

Wiggins wants to prove to James that he is the best champion, and Shou Ye is not as good as him.

The game was broadcast live on Tencent, and the host Wang Meng and the guest Yang Yi were responsible for the commentary.

The starting lineups of the two sides were announced. The starting lineup of the Cavaliers for the home game is Shouba, Varejao, James, JR, and Irving.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup for the away game is Pekovic, Love, Wiggins, Kevin Martin, and LaVine.

Rubio will continue to be absent, and his starting replacement will be guard Zach LaVine, who was selected by the team with the 13th pick in the first round of this year's draft.

Because of Kobe's relationship, there has always been a saying in the market, that is, if you have the 13th pick in the first round and you don't know who to choose, then choosing a shooting guard may have different gains.

LaVine is 196cm tall and is not a pure shooting guard, but a combo.But judging from his preseason performance, he is more inclined to score than organize the offense.

Wang Meng smiled like a little Thomas, and said to Yang Yi: "What do you think of this match, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Yi said: "If James comes back, of course I am optimistic about the Cavaliers winning this game. Let's put aside the poor record of the Timberwolves. From the perspective of the lineup alone, the Timberwolves have no absolute advantage in any position against this Cavaliers. Love It has an advantage over Varejao, but the Cavaliers can let Shouba or James guard him."

The attendance at Quicken Loans Center is very good, and the Cavaliers are one of the hottest teams in the league. This makes this arena, which has been unattended for the past 4 seasons, instantly become one of the hottest home games in the league. up.

Wiggins, wearing a Timberwolves jersey, walked into this arena. Under the tsunami of fans, the resentment and unwillingness in his heart made him feel depressed.

As the No. [-] pick, he is naturally the favorite of heaven, who is willing to be a bargaining chip, a chess piece to trade others?

Bennett doesn't care about him, he doesn't care about Wiggins, he wants to prove it to everyone, who said I can only be one of the chips!

Shou Ye and his old teammate Pekovic are preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.

At the start of the jump ball, Shou Ye beat Pekovic with the jump ball, and the Cavaliers won the first wave of offensive balls.

Shou Ye was happy. It wasn't that winning the jump ball had any advantage (in the NBA, the team who wins the jump ball gets the first attack in quarters 1 and 4), but that his jumping is much better now than before.Although there is still a clear gap with those jumping men, but facing Pekovic's pure floor flow, it is really worthwhile.

Kevin Martin holds the ball and Love asks for it in the low post.

Love eats only Varejao in the low position, and sits with his back continuously.

Varejao didn't flop, he was wrestling with Love all the time!

There was no advantage for Love to beat Varejao, he turned around and made a hook shot—it was iron!
